Or at least, it still hits those notes for parents who love sarcasm and aren’t afraid of some well-earned F-bombs. The build-up for the sequel this year didn’t reach the same delirious heights, but You Have to F**king Eat still hits all the right notes for frustrated (and slap-happy from sleep-deprivation) parents as its predecessor.

![]() It would be a mistake to translate his German into a smoothed-over literary English. Pike says: “Rilke’s prose in this novel is arresting, haunting, and beautiful, but it is not smooth…. It has been referred to as an “edgy” translation, a “refreshing” one that attempts to preserve the “strangeness” of the original German. This is Burton Pike’s translation, issued by Dalkey Archive in 2008. He told me: “Read Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet,” and so I did.ģ. ![]() He wore a beret and smoked cigarettes in class. I was introduced to him in an undergraduate poetry workshop, taught by Peter Gizzi.

Writers, against all reason (and whatever we pretend), are competitive creatures. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I feel this is probably one of the best choices for a TC, right after Space Crusade Doom. To me this is more magical than Duke Nukem 3D (after this I was kinda underwhelmed by it and it never had the charm that games like Doom and Blood have). I can also related to "hell no" comments, I'd probably say the same if I didn't play this when it came out and have those childhood memories of feeling safe while travelling the virtual world. If somebody starts this project I'd really like to see how it goes besides trying to contribute. I would friggin' love to see it remade proper! I would also gladly contribute if my skills are enough and I'm still here and able to work on stuff (getting evicted with no place to go sure sucks!). ![]() I still feel that game holds unique atmosphere and wasted potential. Tek War is one of the games that holds most nostalgia - I remember when I was bullied real bad at school and at nights my parents used to drink a lot so my body created a defence reaction, I would puke and feel sick when school started and teachers sent me home and those days were the little peace I had and Tek War was one of the first Build games I played so it had a pretty big wow factor despite being ugly, buggy and not a good game (I didn't get far and I didn't see Shat as I had a warez copy with movies removed). ![]() ![]() ![]() It also documents how this industry has successfully used the legal system to limit competition to the major media corporations through legal action against: ![]() concentration and integration of the media industry.control (including "derivative works" defined so broadly that virtually any new content could be sued by some copyright holder as a "derivative work" of something), and.scope (from publishers to virtually everyone),. ![]() This book documents how copyright power has expanded substantially since 1974 in five critical dimensions: Free Culture: How Big Media Uses Technology and the Law to Lock Down Culture and Control Creativity (published in paperback as Free Culture: The Nature and Future of Creativity) is a 2004 book by law professor Lawrence Lessig that was released on the Internet under the Creative Commons Attribution/Non-commercial license on March 25, 2004. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Though Mihály has resigned himself to a petty bourgeois existence, taking a position in his father’s firm and marrying a sobering and practical woman, he finds himself entranced by the Italian countryside-its aura of historical gravity, its savage beauty, and the offer of madness and magic that its tangle of close, crooked backstreets seems to extend. The masterwork of Antal Szerb, a celebrated Hungarian man of letters who is practically unknown in the English-speaking world, Journey by Moonlight follows a malcontent Hungarian businessman, Mihály, and his new bride, Erzsi, on their honeymoon in Italy. ![]() It is above all strange, a brief reprieve from the logic according to which happiness and sadness are opposed to one another. It is difficult to say whether the book is happy or sad, or both, or neither.
